ALLEGED DSATH BY STARVATION.' (From the Manchester Gazette.) On Wednesday, this town, and particularly the neigh bourhood of the New Cross, was thrown into a painful ex citation by a report that a family living in ia cellar in ThoMpsou-street, had died from want. This report, for the most part, originated in hand-bills cried about the streets by the usual halfpenny newsmongers. The follow ing is a copy, verbatim et literglim, of one of these :-- " Extraordinary death of William - Hudson, aged 28, and Mary Hudson, his sister, aged 24, by starvation, in a cellar under 66, Thompson street, Manchester, on Wednesday, Sept. 13, 182 61 -- - " This morning, about nine o'clOck the inhabitants of Thompson street were in a state of agitation, on learning that three indivi duals named Hudson, was in a very dangerous state, especially When it was understoisl that they was in a state of starvation, and absolutely dying for want. Some 'humane persons immediately brought in souse refreshments, and on presenting some to the • young woman, she refined partaking of it, saving that she hoped she would have plenty in the next world, and almost immediately expired. In the other cellar was her two brotheus, Thomas and William. William was in bed, and his brother sitting in a chair by the fire-side. William soon after Wards expired, and at II o'clock this morning Tho Mas was scarcely alive, and when we saw bins he presented a meat frightful appearance, and said be thought that if he could have nourishments be should yet recover. From what could be collected on the spot, it is supposed by the neighbours that the above individuals have actually perished for want of food. The cellar is situated about 50 yards mit . of New ton-lane. We are informed that there are at least ten persons in the same street, in a very dangerous state, most of whom are in e state bordering on starvation, particularly in a cellar under No. 63. Further particulars will be published, should any material alteration take ,lace; but the charitable of this town would be well employed in visiting the afflicted in that neighbourhood." As soon as this report reached our ears, we lust nu time in re pairing to the cellar in question. Thompson-street we found to be one of thinte unpaved streets which we have so often alluded to in the . Gazette ;. the cellars under the numerous. houses in it are let off, and each is inhabited by families, consisting at least of six or eight persons, and the filth created in these confined Places is heaped up before the doors, or flung into the deep ruts that mark the whole line of the street, anti form puddles of the most un wholesome nature. On descending the steps of the cellar, the effluvium that issued from the door was extremely offensive, and it cost us an effort to enter. On a bed in the front cellar, in which its inhabitants take their meals, (when they can get theni), lay the dead bodies of a brother and a sister. In the back cellar were three beds, one containing a sick old woman, and the other a young man, also sick. The bed in which lay the young Man, and the one that was unoccupied, were in close contact with the outward wall, which, from its appearance, WAS literally saturated with damp. It appears that two brothers and a sister-,Edward Hudson, ag ed 26, Thomas lludson,24, and Mary Hawn, 22, all natives of Ireland—went some time ago into Lincolnshire, for the par-, pose of soliciting employment &tint the farmers to get in their har vest ; but, not calculating upon the forward state of the crops, they were too late, and had to travel back again, sleeping in barns and' out-houses, and subsisting on the charity of people al most us destitute as the»iselvee. Worn out by hunger and the ague, they sought shelter of their aunt, a poor old woman named Mary (Vila:melt, who resided in the cellar we have described, along with her daughter and grand-daughter. Almost .iumut diately after their arrival, they were seized with the dysentery, the malignancy of which, heightened, by the want of cleanliness, fresh air, proper nourishment, and attendance, the old woman being unable to do much herself, and the earnings of her daughter and her grand-daughter not being more than Ga. Stl. per week, out of which six persons were to subsist, find fuel, arid pay cellar rent.. Their misery at length became so extreme, that on Friday, the Ist instant, Edward, though in a dying state, crawled to the , overseer's office, and on stating his situation,' Mr. Scott, one of the overseers, gave him a shilling, and wished him to go into the wolskhouse ; but he refused to go, preferring to die amongst his relations. On Saturday Thomas went to the overseer's office, and being relieved with one shilling, was desired to attend the board on Monday, And in case he should be unable' to do so, to send his aunt ; but the fear of being sent to Ireland deterred him front attend ing. Edward, however, went in the evening, and received another shilling,und the overseer told h int that he would visit him. On Mon day the overeeer visited the cellar, and gave Edward half-a-crown. On Thuretley the aunt went again to the overseers' office, and en stating their distressed situation, and her inability to (1.1 any thing, the overseer gave her :is. On Friday Thomas went again, but re ceived no relief. On Monday, night, however, the aunt went and implored for more relief, saying that they were dying. The over seer gave her half-a-crown. On 'Tuesday night the aunt went again to the overseers' office, and was told that the surgeon had gone down. On her return she found the surgeon there, but Ed ward and Mary were dying—Edward died at 12 o'clock that night, and Mary expired at half-past JO (Mock the next morning (Wed- newlay last). The three unfortunate beitigs Jay in one bed, in the damp back cellar, and the ill-fated girl had the horror of lying in close contact with liar brother's corpse until death put a period to, her sufferings. The commotion excited amongst the lower Irish, by the hand bills we have described, was so great, that the police thought it ne cessary • to take one of the vend - ere of them into eantedy. His name is Richard Butterworth. He gated in defence, that having lost his left assn, he was unable to procure etriployment ; , that he had a wife and a child to support, and had no other means of earning a livelihood. This is a curious instance of a man saving himself from starving by publishing an account of thus starvation of his fellow-ereaturee. We understand that as soon as these hand-hills nettle their ap pearance, the borougbreeve and constables instituted immediate inquiries as to the truth of the statement they contained, when they found that the lindsons had died from disease. The report, however, that they had died from want having spread far and wide, the coroner (J. Milne, Eitti.) thought it his duty to hold 141 inquest on view of the bodies, which. was accordingly held on Friday MorSt ing, when the following evidence was; adduced : The Rev. James Crook, a Roman Catholic, priest, deposed to th e 6 s et of having, from last Smola) , se`sinight up to the time of th e death of the deceased, Edward and Mary Hudson, attended them reguilirlY, anti atheinietered to them spiritual comfiest, and a l so bodily r ,4,,(4, as fir - as his means would allow. Between five and s i x o' c l oc k o r, Tuesday morning, he saw Mary dying ; ell Owes ' t h en d e li r i ous , amid u stfit to receive the last rites of her religimi He saw her again at 11 4'elook, and seeing her more collected, he administered the last sactitineM. The Coroner—Did you make no application, Kr i m the town's office respecting these poor people? • Mr. Crook—l should most willingly have done so, heal sup posed myself authorized. The Coroner —Any person is authorised on the yore of bums nity to apply to the overseers on such occasions. Mr. Crook--4 tan glad to beer it, Sir; for I assure you, itie, many very melancholy sasses come before me of distress among the poor Irish. Mr. Scott, one of the overseers, corning into the room, con firtrie.2 the Coroner's statement, as to die right of applying at the Team's-Sdlice untra such circumstances. " Every attention," said Mr. Scott, "will be paid to such applications."

PORTUG AL. " kASTORAL LETTER OF THE CARDINAL PATRIARCH OF LISBON. " LISBON, SEPT. 4.—Since Divine Providence consti tuted us Pastor of the important flock whose safety it has committed to us, my well-beloved children, you cannot fail to be the objects dearest to my heart, which is afflicted and torn with a fear of seeing some of the sheep wandering from the field of eternal felicity. " In the existing crisis of the new form, and the new political order, my fear increases, because illusion and error can make a blessing be considered as kin evil, a benefit as a loss, and the improvement of our ancient institutions as their overthrow, and entire abolition, by rendering you besides distrustfal of the safety of the holy religion which we profess, and sowing among you the seeds of discord, capable of bursting the bonds of Christian society, and of producing monstrous and atrocious crimes. Yes, it is thus that turbulent spirits will endeavour by dextrous im postures, to indispose you against the Constitutional Charter,: , wise, and well-framed, which our August So vereign Pedro IV., casting a benevolent regard upon the Portuguese nation, has deigned to send us from the dis taut regions beyond the Atlantic - to constitute our happiness and to consolidate our greatest interests. It cannot but acknowleOge the powerful influence of . uniformity, or, at least, at the great resemblance between the two Govern ments, to 'draw closer and closer the bonds of friendship between two allied, and independent nations-the Portu guese and the - Brazilian—and the better to establish between them ancient relations, with'reciprocal advantages, greaterand more favourable. It is thus dist the King, in his profound wisdom, has thought and acted. " But the genius of evil and, of seduction, , opposed to truth : and public tranquillity, is desirous' 24 'making you believe ,that the illegal and proscribed 'Constitution of 1822 is going to be established in the constitutional char ter of this year, and that after having fallen, it is about to be raised. " Can such an imposture, dearly beloved children, se , dupe you, and lead you to rebellion and disobedience to your Sovereign ? Will you consent that they sport with your reason ? It is very easy to discover by yourselves the artful snare which has been laid for you. Compare the new Constitution with the new charter which his Ma jesty gives you, and you will acknowledge at once that they are in perfect opposition in their principles, in their essence, and in their results, " The Constitution of 182.2 was, as you knoW, the work of a rebellious faction, which usurped the sovereign power, and arrogated to itself the right of disposing of the nation and its destinies. The Cortes, convoked by it without legitimate authority, could not receive that authority from those who had it not to bestow. On the contrary, the charter of April 19, descends from the height of the throne. It is dictated by the spontaneous will of our august Sove reign, who, in virtue of our ancient laws, possesses in him self the legislative power. " The Constitution, by the shock of the elements which composed it, disorganized the monarchy to its foundations, overthrew all its ancient institutions, and annihilated the rights and privileges of the ranks and hierarchies of so ciety. It invaded the right of property, which it had pro mised to defend, and debased the ancient throne of our Kings, whom it had stript of their sovereignty, as far as the most revolutionary reform could go. The new char ter, so fur from invading the rights of the nation, maintains and revives its ancient institutions, preserves the rights, the privileges, and the social hierarchies consecrated by them; preserves likewise the dignity and splendour of the throne, and separates from supreme power whatever can render it odious, while it gives guarantees to the citizens for their individual safety, and for their properties. It is iu all its parts the work of a father who desires the happi ness and the well-being of his children. " The Constitution of 1622 has only created one MI , tional representation to whielt almost only would have been called the Members of one of the three orders of the State. From this it would naturally have resulted that the interests of the two.others would have been left with out defenders; but all the three orders were culled by the Charter of the National Representation, and concurred to form two distinct Assemblies, which will protect and en courage, by all the means in their power, the interests of all classes, and the genend welfare. In tine, this Charter is nothing but the improvement of the ancient political Constitution, and of the fundamental laws which served as a basis to our Representative Government. " What, then, is wanting to it'? At different epochs long since passed the Portuguese people besought their Kings to assemble the Cortes at certain fixed periods, and even King John I. was supplicated to convoke theM every year ; but the humble prayers of the nation did not re ceive a favourable hearing, and it is Don Pedro IV. who is the first of our Kings to satisfy the ancient prayers of the people, and granting them, with a generous heart, what their ancient Monarchs had denied. The generosity of his Majesty even goes* further—for he even. grants to the new Cortes legislative powers, whilst the ancient ones possessed only consultative rights, without, however, prostituting in any way by this glorious concession a supreme power of the rights, of the sovereignty. " Finally,a Monarch so Christian and so religious, could not lose sight of the religion of our ancestors, of which, by oue Ministry, we are the first sentinel, and in the very irst article's of the constitutional charter we find it de- Jared the religion of the state, and place it under the pro tection of the Sovereign authority and of the laws. " Is any . thing further necessary, my faithful flock, to demoostsate to your satisfaction, and to convince your hearts that the charter granted by his Majesty is altogether different from the Constitution of the Cortes, And that this welt of the august wisdom of our paternal Monarch per fects our aneieut Coostitution, and procures new advan tages to the Portuguese nation ? Let calumny and impes tore then be confounded—let timid minds be resussured, let u reply to the greatness of the benefit by our obits dience, by on« loyalty, and. by a fidelity without limit. "The charter has opeued to you the path of happiness, follow it, be obedient 'and £sitll£uf, and experience will de monstrste the advantages of the new political order.— Union and ohedience, two precepts of' the divine laws, are the basis of time social edifice, without which it falls into ruiris On them depends the eternal and temporary happieess of men. They form the doctrine* of the Gospel, and they are the greatest of all blessings,as discord iii time greatest of all evils.

PARIS, SEPT. 16.—The Diario di Romania says that the last letters from Corfu speak of the lauding of Lord Coch rane in the island of Rhodes. The Universal Gazette of Napoli di Romania of the Bth, 9th, and 15th July, contains a narrative of the events that have taken place in Laconia. According to the Greek journal, Ibrahim lost 500 men in the battle of Armiro a which lasted the whole day (the 4th), and in which the Arabs were repulsed nine times. One of their Chief, supposed to have been most consi derable, was found among the dead. The attack made at the same time by the Egyptians, by sea, was still more unfortunate. Instead of finding the country, as they hoped, quite defenceless, and all the forces of the Mainotes con centrated at Armiro, they were repulsed by the popula tion, who rose en masse, including 500 women who had taken arms. Of the 1,500 Egyptians who had landed., scarcely a third were able to re-embark. The Chiefs wha had fought on the 4th, at Ariiiro, fear ing that the enemy might receive reinforcements, had sent to ask succour from Colocotroni, who finding, on his arri val, the Greeks victorious, and the Arabs driven back as far as Calamata, sent troops to pursue the enemy, who were in the defiles of Messina. The Gazette of the 19th of July announces that Ibrahim had retired from the territory of Sparta, and was in the defiles of Messina. The Number of he 22d July an nounces that Athens was invested by the Turks. It ex pects the troops who are idle at Napoli to fly to the relief same number contains a proclamation, dated 10th o f The Athens. July, signed by. Goura and the other Greek Chiefs who were in the besieged city, by which they declare that they will resist as IVLssolon)_chi did, and that they will bury themselves under the ruins of the Propylex and the other monuments, rather than suffer them again to be blackened by the smoke ,of the camp of the barbarians. A letter from Berlin says, that M. d'Olfers, who is going to Brazie as Prussian Charge d'Affaires, was for merly attached to the Embassy of Count Fleming, at the Court of Rio de Janeiro, The first business of M. d'Olfers will be to conclude a commercial treaty, for which he is said to have received extensive powers. Great advantages are expected from the mission of M. d'Olfers, not only in a commercial and political view, but likewise with respect to science. He has studied medi cine and obtained a Doctor's degree, and is profoundly versed in zoology and botany. During his first residence at Rio de Janeiro lie made large additions to our Museum. (From the Constitutionnel.) Lisp" SEPT. 4.—(Private Correspondence.)—The news from Madeira, Terceira, San-Miguel, and Fayal, an nounce that the Constitution and Charter have been sworn to in those four islands with the greatest•public rejoicings. The Chiefs and Officers of the third regiment of artil- lery, from which some men have deserted, have sent to the Princess Regent an address, in which they make pro testations of their fidelity. (In. our correspondence of the . . 30th,contamed yesterday's number,_ we have announced that thirty men of this regiment had been just conducted to the prisons of Lisbon.) To the address the Princess replied in theie terms:— " I know that ye have nut taken part in the crime of some connivers,who have disturbed the public tranquillity, and that you have done all that was in your power to main tain it; have a watch then both day and night on your sub-otlicers and soldiers, establish in your corps the most exact discipline, and dO not leave unpunished, the slightest disobedience to the laws. It is by these means you will destroy the efforts of .this haudfull of Portuguese, who, without honour, without shame, and without religion, are hired to entrap the ignorant. Be faithful to your duties and to your oaths (Signed) "INFANTA." 'MADRID. SEPT. 5.—" The Charge d'Affaires of Por tugal in Spain has refused to take the oath to the Consti tution. The Secretary of Legation supersedes him till the arrival of an Ambassador, whose appointment is announced. (From the Moniteur.) Report of General Roche to the Greek Committee of Paris : ", GENTLEMEN—A sojourn of 18 months among the Greeks, has made me acquainted with their principal wants, and enabled me to appreciate of what utility the different Committees throughout Europe engaged in the Greek interest may be to them. " If it be intended to succour them efficaciously, there are two methods of doing it—the first would be to - tarnish Lord Cochrane with steam-boats sufficient to enable him to attack the Turks with success. The novelty of these constructions would give him a great advantage over the Turkish navy, which besides its ordinary incapacity, has to contend with the most continual calms of the Archipe lago. Five steam-boats armed with Perkins's guns would be sufficient, I think, for the present, but afterwards as many as twenty might be raised, in order finally to com plete the destruction of the Turkish and Egyptian fleets. Although the latter be partly manned by European renc gadoes, who better sustain the attacks of the Greeks, I think that the first engagements on the part of Lord Cochrane would be so victorious as to decide the fate 'of opinion formed by the Greeks of t G b r is ee e c e e ie l in f o o t r o t d h e co l i i i i i g m h ander is beyond expression, and I am persuaded that under his orders their ardour would be so inflamed as to excite them to any enterprize, however arduous, Those enterprizes it is not for me to point out. Lord Cochrane has a skilful and daring spirit, and when on the spot, will know better than any person, the advan tage,to be gained from a people so easily excited, and who only need a great man to conduct them to victory.— The Greek navy is very brave, and has always fought well, but there is a.want of upity in its operations. Even in its greatest exploits it has never known how to profit by success ; besides which, the jealousy which exists arming ite Chiefs contributes greatly to prevent it from reaping the fruits of ;its exerti ons , Thereis also wanting in its or ganizatiou that subordination so necessary in the operations of armies by sea o r l an d, " The reputation which Lord Cochrane justly enjoys, and the confidence Which he inspires, induce the belief that he will obtain from the Greek navy what none of their compatriOts have been able to obtain, not even Miatilis (for' Whont, however, they have a very great esteem), Air(' Cochrane is considered by tho Qtoeku as a superna. tural being, In their conversations, in their songs, they always speak of him as their saviour. A few achieve ments, happily e xec uted 'by him on his arrival, would change, according to general opinion amongst them, the the North, a t it he terror East to t to of Mussolmen the ia whole rue of things, If, on the side of the Greeks, Lord Cochrane is r egar d e d as a saviour,on that of the T ur k s t h at same renown, st i mu l at i n g their ordinary superstiti on , in duces them to im ag i ne that he is that Am of 4nn Zi ti v n e ee l d iac b k they their ii prt},Ospltieo Asia, totsasfateidiisn appear atle di is inl the particularly • , ' , -arid there is no doubt that the inhabitants ciff Smyrna, ai coast, will' consider themselv es i n safety,ithe European, and when they hear of the arrival of Lord, Cochrane among the Greeks. " It is my opinion, that if Lord Cochrane for the pre sent could u,;sembl e five steam-boats, he might repair t ° 11-Ydra, where he i s ex pected to take the command of the Grecian fleet, which is collected for the defence of this island, threatened by the 'forks and Egyptians. He von. ld find there a h un d re d an d twenty well ar med ve ssels, twenty-oven ilre-ships, and mariners not surpassed in the world for intrepidity or bravery, activity or capacitY as sailors at least such is the opinion of the French and English Officers, who say that they are the best seamen in the universe, and that if their navy was well directed, it would become in a short time, . capable of the greatest things. It would then be a powerful auxiliary to the nation who should have the generosity,. either directly or indi rectly, to . succour Greece." General Roche then recommends the fOrmation of a corps of European volunteers of two or 3,000 men, the command of which should be given to an officer of well tried merit and reputation in Europe. He proposes the means of forming such a corps, by sending detachments of 50, 60, 80, or 100 men, at different times, to the Isle of Salamis in the gulf of Corinth, where they could be exer cised in an entrenched camp, and from whence they might repair to -Attica or the Peloponnesus, as circumstances might require. He gives an interesting account of the causes which led to the almost total dissolution of the corps assembled, and partly disciplined by Colonel Fabvier, after its ill-judged and unfortunate expedition to Carysto, in the island of Eubcea, in order to show how similar re sults are in future to be avoided; and he concludes by the following encouraging view of passing and approaching events " I know the bravery of the Greeks; .the presence of the Turks in Attica need not excite extreme alarm. They will plunder, they will burn, they will slay, but they will not be able to maintain themselves in Attica any more than Ibrahim Pacha in the Morea. If the European Com mittees, coining effectually to the relief of the Greeks, place at Lord Cochrane's disposal the steam-vessels which I have mentioned, this gallant sailor in less than 18 months will destroy the Turkish and Egyptian fleets, and Ibrahim, deprived of their aid; will be compelled to submit to any conditions imposed upon him, and will give up all the for tified places which he occupies in the Morea .to obtain the liberty of returning to. his own country. I must add, however, that it is necessary not to forget the procuring of provisions, of which the Greeks of the Continent stand most in want." PRICES OF STOCKS THI Bank Stock shut 9 per Cent.

We have received the French Papers of Saturday, and the Etoile of Sunday morning, which furnish us with much interesting matter. The affairs of Greece form a prominent subject in these papers. A narrative of the events which took place in Laconia is given from the Universal Gazette of Napoli di Romania, which places beyond all doubt the defeat of IBRAHIM, and his retreat from Sparta to the defiles of Messenia. The same Gazette, after announc ing that Athens was invested by the Turks, and ex pressing an expectation that the troops, who are idle at Napoli, would fly to its relief, publishes a proclama- tion, signed by GduitA, and the other Greek. Chiefs who were in the besieged city, in which they declare that they will follow the glorious example of Misso loughi, and that they' will bury themselves under the monuments of the ancient glory of the place, rather than allow those monuments " to be again blackened by the smoke of the camp of the Barbarians." It is also mentioned,' on the authority of the Diaria di Romania, that Lord Coc II It A i NE, instead of being at Messenia, had effected a landing in. and taken pos session of the island of Rhodes, the original possession of the Knights of St. John of Jerusalem. The hopes inspired among the Greeks by the expectation of his Lordship's assistance, seem not greater than the fears which the Turks entertain from the-enterprise of this extraordinary man. We learn, by a report which has been made to the Greek Committee in Paris by Gen RocllE, who had been employed by that. Committee as their agent in Greece, that " Lord COCHRANE 15 44 considered by the Greeks as a supernatural person. North,of th e a n n T o u u r n k c s e l d i ebiys their " In their speeches and their songs they mention him " as their SAVIOUR. " " If on the side of the Greeks," the report goes on to State, " Lord CoCiIIIANE is re " garded as a Sal'io con " sidered that Man . . s " Prophets, who is to appear m the East to drive u o r f ° tl n ie tiiat ft them into Asia• His name is the terror of Mus- ct sulmen." however, considers th at to render Lor d coTc,l:e report , it r A N's ' assistance in the cause of Greece elrec tual, so great a force both of steam-b oa t s , of other ve ssels, mid of men, would be requisite, as to lessen the expectation that the hopes of the Greeks will be realized in receiving their political salvation from his Lordship.
